PALM THATCH RUNNER CALCULATOR
PALM THATCH RUNNER RESULTS
Use this tool to estimate how many thatch runners you'll need to cover your tiki hut or tiki bar. Round up to the nearest foot, and enter the dimensions of a regularly shaped area only. If your area to be covered is irregular (if it's L-shaped), calculate the regular sections separately, then add the together.

Use this tool to estimate how many 30 inch x 60 foot thatch runners are needed. This tool assumes you're double layering (similiar to roof shingles) with a 14 inch overhang from bottom of your roof line.
Here's how many thatch runners you'll need to cover the roof area calculated. Remember that this is just an estimate; you may need more, depending on your specific roof layout. We've figured in a 20 percent for overlap, but you'll need more if you have a lot of corners to thatch around (every cut piece involves some waste). Draw a diagram of your tiki hut or tiki bar, and the layout you want to help you visualize the final project and material needed.

Number of thatch runners required:
Keep in mind, these calculations are based on the 30 inch x 60 foot thatch runner, which will also affect how much you need to buy. If each roll is 100-114 square feet and you need to cover 120 square feet, you'll need two thatch runners. Don't despair - it's always a good idea to have extra thatch panels left over for future repairs.
